...It still would be cool (PUN UNINTENDED) to see assassins come from there. ANY Assassin, really. It would fit with the Augmented types.

I'm going to guess that it's either the Science country or 'Whiterun' that took the Ninja theme?

Mmmm, I'll leave it to the person in charge of the country to decide if they wanna tell you.

Active skills need to match the type of Augment, and if the linked Pokemon can learn that move and it needs to be in their learnset.

So wait, is there going to be a four move limit like in the games for the amount of moves a Pokemon can learn? Or is it just that a Pokemon can't know every single move physically possible for that Pokemon to learn?

Judging from the first page, there's a 4-move limit. I'd ask to push to six, but I'm almost dead-sure you're set on this much, am I right Sabi?

There is a four move limit on Pokemon, just like there is in the anime. With people being able to use moves and having Pokemon, on top of other powers, we don't really need anymore then 4 moves per Pokemon. However [like in ASB] it can be any four moves the Pokemon can ever learn in any game ever.

We are also not having Mega Evolution in the RP, as we have the Augment System. You need an Augment Stone to conduit the Synergy between a human and a Pokemon, so Mega Stones aren't viable. Mega Stones do their own thing and it conflicts with the system. With buffed up humans and then Pokemon, we don't really need Mega Evolutions. There might be a use for them in another scenario, but right now they won't be in the RP.

Small aside - I presume the level of human/Pokemon communication here is high, but I want to make sure - how easily can humans and Pokemon communicate in the Augment-verse?

[Dragon Master Mike]

I can't stop thinking of questions!

Do the Pokemon get anything out of the whole synergy thing or whatever it was called? Or is it just humans that get Pokemon powers out of it?

Weird question: how do we capitalize augments in a sentence?

Like, do I say, "Fidelias's Primary Augment is…", "Fidelias's primary Augment is…", or "Fidelias's primary augment is…"?

Well since you're so interested it's my country (the grass/ground/bug) that has parkour ninjas in trees taken :P The previous person in charge originally had them and I kept them.

Typically a Pokemon with a Synergy link to a human is easily understood, mostly by body language or by the human actually understanding what they're saying to a degree. Telepathy is a thing with those who are Psychic types as that makes the most sense.

The Pokemon Synergized become stronger than the average wild one and are more protected from becoming prey, especially those to Manifests who can consume their life force quite easily. While humans get alternate abilities, Pokemon gain the ability to communicate more with their human partners.

I bolded the correct one.

Also I called Chibi's people 'OP ninja forest Ewoks' as Neo originally made them.
